South Sudan is not short of hardworking people or money. The problem is that we are not focusing enough on building our own economy. Every day, South Sudanese at home and in the diaspora spend and invest their hard earned income in Kenya and Uganda because basic services, businesses, and systems are more reliable there.
As a result, our neighbours grow stronger from South Sudanese money while our own towns and communities remain undeveloped. This slowly gives others control over our economic growth and limits opportunities for our people.
If we want South Sudanese to prosper, we must start creating spaces where our own money can build businesses, services, and futures at home.
